OLD BAILEY. Rfm3l,E SU - RADE or HAITCH, THE MURDERER. `l7le above unforktnite wretch (as we have al ready sta , eJ) terminated his existence yestetday morning, at half-;last eight o'clock, by nearly sevetint.; his head from his h• dv ! ilithouith this ve,rtch , .:d - cuiprit, chile he was under examination at Boty-strv e l • ;“5/InCed an air of ne , :ligence, and holted that he should have Hi re fortitude titan to heconte his o,vit executioner, vet it was' pretty evi4ent to those who watched his conduct, th•it.it Marto-k of a ciaracter conveying powerful suspicion. While in the custody of Harry Adkins, he was be wic.died and ironed, and two persons ivere continually kept to watch over him ; and when Smith., the g-tolor of Bow -street, de livered him into the custody of the Keeper of Newgate, he intimated that he ought to he watch ed Stith considerable caution. This morning, when he was called 'out wi'h the other prisoners who were to he tried, front the yard, he tan to the - privy, drld shortly afterwards he seas found with his throat cut hum ear to ear, and his head nearly revered from his - body. The place. as mWtt be expected, was a couplete gore of blood. Near to him was found a crooked razor, and not far.from it a document, written by himself, in which it w.ts stated, that the razor with which be per. petrated the horrid aced was the same with which he mttrdered Mary Minting, and that he had it secreted about him ever since. although it may be recollected that he. told Adkins, upon his apprehension, that he had thrown the i:istroment with which he committed it into the Thames. The paper also stated, that he intended to have mttrdereel Mary Minting with a pistol—that it was hisinten!ion first to have shot her, rant next himself. The body was removed into the, yard, ald the circumstance occasioned the greatest alatm and consternation, The Court was exces sively crowded at an early hour, particularly by Ladies. On the arrival of - the Judges, at ten o'clock, the father of Mary Minting ascended the witness box, and addre•sed their Lordships as follows : " My Lord, William Haitch has cut his throat in the prison, and as I am a very poor man, I hope your L►►rdslhip will allow me my expences." Mr. Baron GRAnAm."—Your application is made at an improper time; we will consider it by and byc. 'Cie -officers who searched him say, it was inn possible that be could have bad a razor about bin CHARGES OF FORGERY. Samuel Furley teas put to the bar, charged with twered and p , :blished a forged bank note, value It., knowing it to he forged. He pleaded guilty to the minor charge of havirg the note in his possession, and the Learned Counsel employed on the parr of the Bank intimated that it was not their intention to prosecute for the major offence. John Stephens, William Green, and Henry Snores brook, wet f• also brought to tie bar, under a charge of having tittered as true a forged Bank of Eng. land note. The prisOners all pleaded guilty to the minor offence, and the same intimation was given 'by the Learned Counsel on the part of the Bank as in tibe.forner case. There were several charges of forgery itgainst the prisoners. The punishment for the minor-offence is transportation for fourteen years. MURDER. David Erang, aged 38, was then charged with the murder of his wife, Elizabeth Evans, on the Ith of Jannary last, in the parish of St. Anne's, Soho. To this, in a very weak voice, he pleadvd Not Goil:v, and, on the attival of the Judges at 10 o'clock, he w:,s placed at the Bar. Ile was dressed in a white drab coat, a yellow handker. and black wais'coat, and had altogether the appearance of a poor Mall. poring the ilial be was much agitated, and in apparently a very weak condition. - WALF,RD opened the pleadinzs. ctis,! AS stated at some length to the Jury by Mr. ANIIn EWS. who ot”erved, that the evi dence bcing wholly of a ch.( nmstantial nature, would regnite their most serious attention. It rarely happened that in murders such evidence could be procure►i as was done in other acts of felony. He then stated tl►e evidence which he should adduce in support of the charge. It was tor them to juOge from the report of the medical men whether she had come to her death by violence, and they would see that a difference of opinion existed between the two respectable Gentlemen on that point ; butt they had other circumstances to decide on, independent of that 'lsaac Davies lives at No. 4,Falconberg-court, Crown-street, St. Giles's. He was drinking with the prisoner on the 10th of January, which was the evening before the murder. parted with him that night between twelve and one. Prisoner li ve d next door to hint. They werw last in a public-house at the corner of the Court where they lived. Prisoner, on leaving witness, went home, as witness supposes;. prisoner seemed • to he much in liquor. Went to his house next morning (Sunday) between to and II o'clock; no Terson went with him; did not see the deceased then; the prisoners door was . open, and he was talking to two persons ; staid there about two or three minutes, went away, and came back in ten minutes. Saw prisoner when he came back, and asked him, ' Why did yon not follow us ?" By this question, he meant his wishing prisoner to go with him and Wil liams. Prisoner said, " I ant coming directly.'.' Witness said " where is your wife:" He replied she was in bed. En tered the bed-room and said, " Mrs. Evans, this is a fine time to bo in bed." Had no answer. Looked to deceased, who was lying on the lied with her mouth open, put his hand on her head and found she was cold. 'Fold prisoner, " your Wife's dead." He said, " good God, don't say so." Prisoner then went to tier, jumped on her, and kissed her, saying, " 'hope you are not dead my dear woman." Prisoner being then cry ,. int:, wittiest removed him from the spot. Asked hint, "when did you speak to Mrs. Evans ?" He said, about six or seven, when she said she felt Yet y cold at the feet. He had put, as he said, a hot brick to her feet,and she had replied, " that's agood boy?: Asked him what he had done to her, and he answered, nothitl—l was very much intoxicated, and did not know what I had done." Asked him if time deceased was drunk, to wliich he replied, he did rtnt know, as he had been aggravated by some of the lodgers in the house ; one of the women having eid Sum hi m , t hat h=a wife had had criminal connection with her husband, and that she was not a wife, but a w—e. Witness . said to hint, " don't vex yourself, I ,ant going away." The door of the room was not quite dry, and seemed to have been lately cleaned. A fire was burning in the room. Saw pri siter after this at his own house, about two' o'Clock, when he iyas desired to go fur sonic female to lay out the body.— The female declined coming. Was asked by hint to go with him•to an undertaker; but before going, prisoner said, " sup pose we take thelength of Mrs. Evans." They did so with a striag,, and then went to White's, the undertaker—where prisoner said that h;s dear woman was dead, having been very 1 ,, :e for a week past. Prisoner said. " we have taken the lets,z , th of the tiOdy; to save You a journey." Sooftfititc4.l,ol, `.frs. Jones and her daughter came to prisoilW,S.liii4t,. a here isi:riess saw thew. Went to prisoneed . hodsc next • morning to ask him if he would come to his work—but pri soner said tic. did not think he could come to-day. Gave witness a parcel of clothes to get washed, which witness gave to his wife. His wife never washed before for Evans. Saw prisoner same. day, at one o'clock, and at half-past seven lii the evening, and was told the cotlin had not come. It•cattle while witness was in the room. Heard sonic females say, he had killed his wife on Saturday night, and prisoner said no thing;. Saw like a crust of blood on her head. .Knew the deceased for six or seven months. She seemed weak before this happened. Cross-examined by Mr. ALLFY.—Prisoner was very fond of his wife, and their affection was mutual. Has seen her in liquot mot c than once or twice. Prisoner never absconded from justice. Juhu Williams, a fellow workman with the prisoner, was in his company on the milt tilt. Saw him in his own house next day; knocked at hi; door, and was told he could not get in, as some person had locked him in, and taken the key away; asked witness to get Davies's key to open the door : -did so, and while going to open the door a woman came up from the street, who gave hint a hey, saying it was that of the door; opened the door and then went with Davies's key, and came hack to prisowr, who was in his room ; Davies soon clinic and asked prisoner to go and take a pint of beer, but prisoner did not come, on which Davies went back for tim. The room seemed lately washed. Asked hint, "Is your wife dead ?" Prisoner said he did not know. Saw him crying and kissing his wife. They then went to a public house, where they staid for 1...1f an hour. • •' Ann Desmond lived in the•same house with the prisoner. Ile lived on the ground-floor, and had a parlour and bed room. On the Saturday night witness's husband was brought home quite drnnk. Prisoner opened the door for them. He ivarrel led with her husband for being so late, but no blows were given. Mrs. Evans was sober at the time, and•in her usual state of health ; she said nothing, but went quietly to her own room. Witness's husband after the quarrel then scent to bed. Went down stairs to shew the persons out who had brought home her hushand, and on returning tip the stair she heard prisoner quarrelling with his wife about some money; heard him give her a.bad name; the quarrel was about 25. liad: she heard him then strike her, seemingly with his hand; the noise soon ceased, and witness went up stairs. Coming down again for water, heard him beating bur dreadfully; . this was soon after one o'clock ; the beating was with a weapon ; heard her cry, "0, dear me, 0, don't," about several times; he was beating her when she cried so; witness stood listening more than ten minutes, and then ran up stairs; told him he was a bhichguard for so doing, and he gave her several bail names ; knocked at her oeighbour'S door, but got no answer ; witness then went to bed, as lie had ceased heating her then. Saw him next morning- about ten o'clock ; Evans opened the door to her, having a coal se cloth, with which he was wiping something from the floor. - Cross-examined—Witness passes as a married woman, and has five children. Had lived some months in the same house with her, and never quarrelled with her in her life. Called prsoner a had fellow for beating his wife. Never said any thing to lain about his wife's conduct. Her romn is on the back part of the house.. She' gave no hey to the last witness, but she gave it to Evans, who opened the door to her from the inside. Rebecca Mickltthwaite, went to bed that night half after eleven. Was disturbed by a great noise after twelve, from the passage door. Heard Mr. and Mrs. Desmond, prisoner, &c. but she did not leai e the room ; prisoner having gone to his room, all became quiet for a little time. Mrs. Desmond went down again, and some man came in. Airs. Desmond was quar relling with the prisoner for about an hour and a half at his own door. - Heard a groan from Mrs. Evans three times.— Mrs. Desmond had then gone to her own room. Thought at first it was a dog gro .ning, but knew the last to be from Mrs. ,1 Evans. Got out of bed, and spoke to her husband. Mrs. Desmond went down to Evan's door, and called him sante bad name, and said to the deceased, " Why don't you hot to out ?" Prisoner said, " she can't hallo out," and Mrs. D. said, " I know that very well, for you have murdered her." On which prisoner said, " yes, I know I have." Witness did not go down stairs, because she was afraid. She was afraid also to let _her husband go down. The noise was like beating a feather bed, and witness thought he was heating her on the bed. Witness has been married ten months. H e ard prisoner about ten next morning speaking to Mrs. Desmond: he was at his own door : she was telling him about heating. his wife, and he said, " It was true what von (Mrs. D.) said." She said, " that is nonsense, as I will say any thing when in a passion." Prisoner said, ' 6 say nu more to me, for I ha,ye got more en my mind than you 're aware of, and I don't want to be bothered with you." Cross-examined—Mrs: D. said, that the deceased had been imitroperly connected with her husband. Mary Chapman, lodged in the same house, and knew the deceased, who was a very decent, sober, and orderly woman - ; spoke to heron the Saturday night, and she was then quite sober. This is the last tine that witness ever saw her. Heard a noise after one o'clock of persons quarrelling in the pri soner's apartment. This noise lasted about half an hour: heard no blows given, but heard groanitots. In the morning ni witness went out for coals rOnt tell ; o bserved his window, the curtain having blown aside, and it appeared as if is bed and pillow had been put up to the window, which prevented any person from seeing what was doing in the room. Sarah Madden went to prisoner's house on Sunday morning; saw 111111 there, and was told by him his wife had died sod denly. Witnnss asked him if he had got no doctor ? He said no.—Saw her in her bed and she was quite clean then, and had her mouth tied up. Ann Davies, wife of the first witness—Knew the deceased, as she was her neighbour; saw her the day of her death, about_ midnight, and she was quite sober; she did not complain more than usual; remembers prisoner coming, home along with witness's husband. Next morning Williams (the second witness) came to her house for a key. Saw prisoner crying over the deceased ; said to him—" I hope she is not' dead." He said—" Yes, she is." Witness said—" I hope yon have not done any thing to her." He said be could tint tell ; but lie thought he had been heating her. Witness said—" I hope you've not struck her with the poker or any thing." He re plied—" I don't think I did." Asked him what he had done to her, after beating her? anti was told he had left her in that room and gone to bed; and be further said, that when. he got up, between six and seven in th e morning. all she said was— " My dear, put toe to bed ;" and he told her—" You shan't go to bed in that condition, however." He told witness he had put her on a chair, script her, washed her over, and then put clean clothes on her; that he made her a warm cup of tea, but she could not swallow it. He apologized for not sending for a surgeon, by saying he was locked in, and could not get out. The body was cold when witness saw it. Was sent for between twelve and one, and went to his house, where she found a Mrs. Hitchlow. Prisoner asked for the corpse to be laid out ; Hitchlow refused, and it WAS not done. Sass' pri soner again in the evening. Mrs. Jones asked for a pan to wash the body; Mrs. Jones pulled the clothes down, and witness held the candle. The body was qu i te clean, and required very little washing; it was -black and blue in the arms, and down to the knees; saw no cuts on these places; they appeared fresh made blows; one ear-ring on time left side was gone.— There was a blow on the left temple, near the eye ; it was very black. Prisoner was in the front room all this time.— On Monday morning her husband brought her a bundle wrapped up in a coarse apron, which she was desired to wash, but had not done so for the prisoner before; the smell was intolerable; it contained three petticoats, a gown, a shift, a ' pair of stays, an apron, a cap, and a ribbon ; thre was also an odd stocking of his, two old silk handkerchiefs, and a small pocket one; put them all in a pail of water before eats attuning them ; kept them a few hours in that, and the water was made red like blood. The cap was particularly red, much more so than the others; there were two holes in it, as if cut, but not worn. Prisoner gave her a bundle on the Monday evening, which was given to Webb, the constable.— Witness was up at day-break on Sunday morning, and saw a light in Evans's room. Has seen the deceased twice intoxi cated in the course of five months. lisiart ha Jones laid out the body of the deceased; the arms and thighs were much braised ; there was a cap on the head, which being lifted up, witness saw the left 'ear much bruised. Her daughter asked prisoner for a clean cap ; saw blood under the ear, which came from the back part of the head; told prisoner this, :tad asked if lie had seen any cut on her head, and he replied " no." Had known the deceased 15 years, as a sober, regular, decent woman. Susan Jones, daughter of the last witness, asked him for a cap to cover the deceased, hut he said the head was not to be touched, as he had put a clean one on in I ' v e morning. Charlotte Powell went on the I Ith to ask for the deceased; saw prisoner there, who told her she was better, and that the Doctor had been, or was corning; told him she heard she was George White, undertaker, 'Paton-street, Westminster, knew Evans, who cause to him on the I Ith with another mail called Davies ; was surprised at the visit, not having seen him'this some time ; ask e d h ow hi s wife was, and was told she was very well, and he had left her at home cm:the lied. Davies then said she was dead. Was asked if he would bury the deceased ; prisoner said he for several days observed death on her face, and that she had latterly taken to drinking, by which she had died. Davies gays siitness the measure of the corpse with a string; Evans wished .the .e,o#in on Monday at seven o'clock.—Did not know the' hOUse ; arrived in the court about eight in the evening: the door was opened before they knocked; the bands were black; touch blood was on the hol ster ; the prisoner was trembling very much, and said he should bury the body on Friday; was much astonished at see ing the blood. Hammond Webb - (constable) went to the prisoner's house on Monday evening, and said he wished to see the corpse ; asked him if he had any words with his wife, and he said he bad, and that he had been told of some improper connec tion of his wife, in consequence of which he had given her a blow on the mouth. Witm ss told him,, that though the door was locked he might have procured medical assi..tance by going nut at the window, hut to this no answer was made; took the candle, and found a quantity of blood on the wains cot and also on the Walls; every spot of blood seemed splash ed; there was a great deal of blood on the . handles of a chest of drawers, and a considerable quantity on the floor; much blood was also in the bed-room ; the blood on the wainscot seemed recently washed ; one spot of blood was seven feet two inches from the ground. Prisoner, on being asked about the blood, said he thought it would look better to wash it. The fire-irons, especially the poker, were very bloody. ' lucre the poker was produced).—Saw a pai r o f womans boots, on which was some clotted stuff like blood; went to Davies' lodginc's next day, and received a bundle from Mrs. Davies ; examined the body of the deceased; the hair was all matted with blood, and three distinct places where he could see the skull bone end put his finger in ; one fall could not have occasioned them.—Lflere a coat of the prisoner's was produced, all over blood, and also several parts of her dress in the same state].—Saw the house last Tuesday, and there were evident marks of blood. Mr. William Jennett, apothecary, King-street, Soho, (be, on his examination, said he never practised as a surgeon,) examined the body on the I4th, found three cuts on the back of the head, put his finger in the largest orifice, and could not reach the depth of it ; all the tin ?e seemed inflicted with a blunt instrument. There was a bruise on the left temple; the forehead was discoloured from one temple to the other; there was a blow across each wrist, all front the same instru ment ; thinks the blow on the temple was sufficient to have caused death ; thought this at the time ; the other blows might have helped this also; by the concussion of the brain, on the body being opened, the brain was not cut ; the stomach was empty, some inflammation in the intestines ; this did not in duce hint to change the opinion he had first formed of the cause of her death. The infiatinnation could not have pro duced sudden death. Mr. Joseph Carpue, surgeon, King-street, Soho, opened the head Of the deceased. He has patients now alive w4n had as severe wounds as those of the deceased. Examined the skull, and no fracture was on the external table, which in duced hint to open the skull to examine the internal, and there was no fracture there. There was no division of. the dor , / roofer front the 'skill, no extravasation of blood. A blow on the temple is no more to the head than a blow on any then part, provided no internal injury is done. Examined the hotly, the stomach was empty, and at least a yard of the small intuShioeS in a high state of inflammation. Did not examine inure, as she must have died from the heat: or in testines, and he. is inclined to think front the latter, though he cannot tell which. Thinks the blood she lost would he the only way of caring theinflammatioo. 'rho inflammation could not kill suddenly, but it might be produced by irrita ti.ot. A sudden flaw might kill in cases of great debility.— lie meter saw such a quantity of indammation.—This closed the case. Mr. ALLEY then called several witnesses to cha racter, among whom was the sister of the deceas ed, who gave hink a most excellent character. Mr. Baron GRAHAM left it to the Jury, whether from what they had just heard, it was necessary for him to.sum up. They had heard the last me-. dicarGentleman describe the internal situation of the deceased, and it was at all times proper that persons of that profession should be examined in cases of this nature. It was for them to say whe ther they were satisfied with the opinion of that Gentleman. The FOREMAN (after some consultation with his ',fellow jurors) expressed their wish to retire, and judge of the general merits of the case, as they had taken very copious notes, and would thereby be enabled to save the time of the Court. Mr. Baron GRAHAM considered that as such was their opinion, it was the safest way for hint to re . capitulate the whole case, as they were to judge from his notes. He then began at four O'clock to sum up the evidence. He began by an able exposition of the law Or t h e ease, and then went over the evidence; after which he connected the various leading points, and shoved where they bore on the prisoner, and where they ope rate d i n his favour. It would be for them to decide whe ther, after what they had beard, her death was occasioned by the inflammation of the intestines, especially after the discrepancy between the two medical individuals. The latter Gentleman had said much on the SUCCESS of his patients, but the Jtay were to consider what the 'situation of the poor woman was, who was allowed to remain so many hours, after such horrid wounds, without medical aid. Had such aid been procured, and she had died, a different consideration was pre sented ; but she had no - such advantage. In a most feeling manner he pointed out the awful ef fects of intoxication on the peace of families, and morals of the public. The . Learned Baron concluded his charge at a quarter past six o'clock, when the Jury retired, and at five minutes to seven returned, finding the prisoner Guilty. The RECORDER then addressed the prisoner in a most impressive manner on his awful situation, and the very aggravated nature of his offence. lie then pronounced the dreadful sentence of the law, ordering the prisoner to be executed on Monday morning, and his body • to be dissected and ana tomized. The prisoner during the whole trial see►nad deeply affected ; and upon sentence of dead► being passed, he seemed scarcely to be able to support himself. He shook his head and retired. The trial lasted nine hours. LAW 1N lELLIGENCE. CONSISTORY COUltit, DOCTORS' COMMONS, Fen. 20. LADY KIRK%%'ALL V. LORD KIRKWALL. This was a ciliation of alimony, on which the Court gave judgment.

FORTUNE-TELLER AND•FANCIER OF PLATE.—SIT. veral robberies have been committed within these few days, by a woman who •pretends to disclose future events, and who waits on servants with a French box.
